Hello world! I'm glad to finally have something to post after way too long a layoff. Work has put a crimp in my free hours to paint, but I'm hoping that is going to change. This picture was a commission by a gentleman named Robert Flowers who helped his daughter move to Austin from Atlanta a few months ago. Robert and his wife like to collect paintings from cities they visit and they were intrigued by all the snack trailers to be found around Austin. This is Gourdough's, whose tagline is, you guessed it, "Big. Fat. Donuts." Thank you for the referral, Laurel.

I began painting in 1999. Since college, I have worked as an art director in the advertising industry, in New York and now in my hometown of Austin, Texas. In the recent past I have devoted more time to developing as a fine artist, most recently in a representational, impressionistic style. The paintings on this blog are for sale unless otherwise marked. The prices shown are without framing. You may contact me at svparker@austin.rr.com .
